You may be looking out across the Arabian Gulf, but chef Niko Romito’s Michelin-starred restaurant whisks you over to Italy with house-made pasta, wagyu tagliata and vitello tonnato. More Med living comes in the form of the yacht club in the harbour, with its own fish restaurant, kids’ club and cabana-lined pool. At the sea-facing spa, you can disappear for hours – literally, if you book the half-day hammam, from which you’ll emerge cleaner than ever before.
